Today, Representative Tom McClintock addressed the House Floor before the final vote on the Big Beautiful Bill. The bill aims to deliver on several promises including reducing taxes, easing regulations, securing borders, promoting a more frugal government, and initiating a war on waste.
Rep. McClintock stated that these policies have historically led to prosperity and security. He expressed confidence that they will yield similar results once again. Addressing concerns from conservative colleagues who feel the bill does not go far enough, he remarked: “Our process was not designed to make perfect law – it was designed to make the best law that is acceptable to a majority.”
He further added that despite narrow votes, they have advanced the bill as much as possible within procedural limits. Looking ahead, Rep. McClintock suggested that the true test of success would be public sentiment next year: “The proof is not in the talking points made today, but next year when Americans will ask themselves if they are better off.” He concluded with optimism about public approval: “I believe because of this bill, the answer will be a resounding YES.”
Rep. McClintock also hinted at potential political opposition by stating: “And perhaps that is what the Democrats fear most.”
